Effects of KM+ treatment on proliferation cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), p63, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), c-Met and laminin labelling, after 12 and 24 h of corneal abrasion in rabbits

Groups		PCNA	P63	VEGF	c-Met	Laminin
12 h	KM+ (n = 5)	1.9 ± 0.2	2.2 ± 0.3	1.1 ± 0.2	6.1 ± 0.4	4.6 ± 0.1
	Control (n = 5)	1.5 ± 0.5	2.5 ± 0.1	0.8 ± 0.5	5.9 ± 0.2	4.1 ± 0.4
24 h	KM+ (n = 10)	47.4 ± 0.4*	46 ± 0.5*	29.5 ± 0.7*	74.5 ± 0.6*	42.5 ± 0.5*
	Control (n = 10)	27.6 ± 0.2	5.7 ± 0.4	2.4 ± 0.5	7.3 ± 0.4	4.8 ± 0.5

PCNA, p63, VEGF, c-Met and laminin labelling were expressed as percentage of positive labelling ± SEM.

^*Significantly different compared to controls (P < 0.05 Fisher's exact test).
